FORMULA
E.g.f.: Sum_{n>=1} exp(sigma(n)*x) * x^n/n!.
O.g.f.: Sum_{n>=1} x^n/(1 - sigma(n)*x)^(n+1).
EXAMPLE
E.g.f.: A(x) = x + 3*x^2/2! + 13*x^3/3! + 75*x^4/4! + 471*x^5/5! +...
where
A(x) = exp(x)*x + exp(3*x)*x^2/2! + exp(4*x)*x^3/3! + exp(7*x)*x^4/4! + exp(6*x)*x^5/5! + exp(12*x)*x^6/6! + exp(8*x)*x^7/7! + exp(15*x)*x^8/8! +...+ exp(sigma(n)*x)*x^n/n! +...
RELATED EXPRESSIONS.
O.g.f.: A(x) = x + 3*x^2 + 13*x^3 + 75*x^4 + 471*x^5 + 3273*x^6 +...
where
A(x) = x/(1-x)^2 + x^2/(1-3*x)^3 + x^3/(1-4*x)^4 + x^4/(1-7*x)^5 + x^5/(1-6*x)^6 + x^6/(1-12*x)^7 + x^7/(1-8*x)^8 + x^8/(1-15*x)^9 +...+ x^n/(1-sigma(n)*x)^(n+1) +...
L.g.f.: L(x) = x + 3*x^2/2 + 13*x^3/3 + 75*x^4/4 + 471*x^5/5 + 3273*x^6/6 + 26916*x^7/7 + 262027*x^8/8 + 2851375*x^9/9 +...
where exponentiation yields the g.f. of A291558:
exp(L(x)) = 1 + x + 2*x^2 + 6*x^3 + 25*x^4 + 123*x^5 + 695*x^6 + 4710*x^7 + 38573*x^8 + 363290*x^9 + 3762248*x^10 +...+ A291558(n)*x^n +...
which is an integer series.
